Just went through the process again, worked perfectly this time.

Now to install Command and Conquer...

Thanks pb.

I have a problem now, I connected via USB to my PC and got an error on the tablet "Unable to connect via USB. Memory card in use: Internal memory card". In my PC I can access the external SD, but not the FAT partition on my internal SD. What should I do?

ps: I had no applications open.

The purpose of this deb is "Boot from SD made EASY!!"
When I did it pre Diablo it worked and was easy.
Now, after a new install of Diablo and the SSU, plus some of the apps, the install does not give me a boot menu. It does repartition my internal and leave me with a 120mb partition.
Building the boot menu looks about as easy as rebuilding with the other pb tool and selecting my partitions etc. or reflashing entirely.

Sometimes you need to reset the default boot option manually, as root inside xterm run this, then reboot.

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2


mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal

mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external

You can also set the default to flash

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash


My install-tools does not do this part of the cloning process. Sometimes it works and sometime you need to run the cal-tool

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
After 5 attempts and no boot menu I gave up an went to reflash Diablo.
It would not reflash and gave me a USB cable error.
When I unplugged the USB cable the boot menu showed up and I've been able to reboot and get the boot menu.

I hope I've not lost the flash capability but I've wasted 4 hours on it so far.

Not easy anymore.

Now I need to order the 8Gb external card.

As I posted it seemed to fix itself, your method looks a lot simpler than the link bun posted.

I have used the other cloning method now (the one that lets you choose the partition sizes) and I'm still having the same problem. I have to reboot from flash to copy stuff to the fat partition, and the reboot from SD.
Is there some command to unmount the FAT? how to use it?
thanks

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
should I try unmounting the FAT partition manually? I think that is "umount /media/mmc2" (maybe as root?). But if that works, how do I mount it again after I finish? (without rebooting, that's what I'm trying to avoid).
Is no one else having this problem?

edit: Is "mount vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2" the command to mount it again?

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 
nope, that didn't work...

Nobody has any suggestions? This is the only thing that makes me turn off the N800 :(

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2
